156.2 159.0
16 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty (not GNU/Linux, probably 16 - improved security of setuid/setgid operation, which is now
17 most BSDs), privileges weren't dropped before opening the pty, 17 encouraged, by moving privileged operations into a separate
18 resulting in wrong permissions on the pseudo terminal. 18 process and permanently dropping privileges within the
19 Reported and fixed by Ryan Beasley. 19 terminal. This makes it possible to remove security checks from
20 the perl code and gives a much safer feeling when urxvt needs to
21 run with special privileges.
22 - implemented perl:selection:remote-pastebin command in perl/selection
23 - use the scrollback buffer even when the scroll region doesn't
24 span the whole screen, as long as it starts at row 0.
25 - swap the environment in some more cases. This hopefully fixes
26 some segfaults that might be caused by xft asking for env variables
27 at the wrong time.
28 - selection popup now shows selection in dec/hex/oct.
29 - perl/selection: matching on unicode characters in the selection
30 code was O(n²), which equals infinity in some degenerate cases
31 :-> Matching is now done on UTF-8, which makes it almost instant.
32 - perl/selection, perl/selection-autotransform: regexes are now
33 being interpreted in the locale urxvt was started.
34 - perl-overlays and refresh hooks were not applied in correct order.
35 - changed coordinate-system of view_start/nsaved to be top to bottom.
36 - complete overhaul of the pty/utmp management stuff and configure
37 (Emanuele Giaquinta).
38 - removed src/strings.C and src/menubar.C. No menubar support
39 anymore.
40 - add tsl/fsl and related capabilities to the terminfo description,
41 to set the window title.
42 - removed all traces of SMOOTH_REFRESH.
43 - nuked QNX support.

457.0 Fri Jan 13 14:02:18 CET 2006
46 - added sections for DISTRIBUTION MAINTAINERS and about
47 SETUID/SETGID to the FAQ.
48 - selection, searchable-scrollback, selection-popup and
49 option-popup extensions enabled by default.
50 - increased xft drawing speed for problematic fonts. The effect
51 will likely be small as 99% of the xft slowness is server-related.
52 - perl: much increased functionality, better overlays, popup support
53 and much much more.
54 - perl: urxvt::line now can set via ->t and ->r.
55 - perl: changed interpretation of --perl-ext-common and -pe.
56 - perl: finally implemented --perl-eval.
57 - perl: non-blocking anyevent support.
58 - perl: run tainted and ignore perl-eval/perl-lib if started
59 setuid/setgid.
60 - free the resource database: this plugs a massive memory leak. As a
61 side effect, it also gets rid of XGetDefault calls.
62 - free one of the cursors, fixes a small memory leak.
63 - built-in (as opposed to terminfos) visual bell was broken/too fast.
64 - applied minor cleanups by Ladislav Michnovic.
65 - applied pty handling cleanups and improvements (Emanuele Giaquinta).
66 - mark-urls launch-on-click by jepler.
67 - removed "small" resource parsing function, as it wasn't really
68 compatible, and not really small either.
69 - removed PATH_ENV and PATH file search support.
70 - removed support for locale-specific app-defaults file.
71 - fixed a bug where out-of-bounds colour sequences could lead
72 to crashes.
73 - limit colour changing to the standard 88 palette instead of all
74 colours.
75 - XTerm_Color01 sequence returned wrong results in query mode.
76 - iom.C now checks against destructed io_manager when unregistering.

786.3 Wed Jan 4 22:37:10 CET 2006
79 - SECURITY FIX: on systems using openpty, permissions were
80 not correctly updated on the tty device and were left as
81 world-readable and world-writable (likely in original rxvt,
82 too), and were not restored properly. Affected are only
83 systems where non-unix ptys were used (such as most BSDs, not
84 GNU/Linux). (found, patched and debugged by Ryan Beasley).
85 - meta8 support was forcefully enabled in most configurations.
86 restored configurability of this (useless) feature (reported
87 by Mikachu).
88 - optionally embed a perl interpreter, which can be used for more
89 intelligent/customized selection support, visual feedback,
90 menus, tabs etc. See the the urxvtperl manpage, the -pe option,
91 perl*-resources and keysym resources. Not everything is there yet.
92 - try to be more clever about differing font sizes and their ascent.
93 Not guarenteed to work, but works better in most cases now.
94 - fix directory permissions on install.
95 - implemented option to disable built-in line drawing characters
96 and fall back to the font ones (patch by Martin Pohlack).
97 - disabled sched_yield support: the linux version is just too useless
98 (it schedules nice'd processes before the own one for extended
99 periods). Too bad, it could reduce system time by a factor of 5 here.

27 on a few architectures). Reported by darix. 109 on a few architectures). Reported by darix.
110 - include one trailing space in rectangular selections to indicate
111 the inserted newline (yeah, weird, but visually more pleasing).
112 - try to use sched_yield to (drastically) improve terminal data
113 transfer efficiency.
28 - further minor cleanups. 114 - further minor cleanups.
